I bought my Lone Star kit last year for my 42'nd BDay. Sold my '04 Merc SL600. Warranty expired and I looked at what the last 3 years of repairs would have cost, and I couldn't even change the brake pads without a computer, and it's resale value was dropping like a box of rocks.

I considered an older Ferrari or something similar, but to get the performance I wanted and be pre EFI(I didn't want to repeat my SL's issues), I thought they all looked dated and/or gaudy. Then it occurred to me. A Cobra that I built with no compromises would hold it's value, be fast and nasty, and I could rebuild absolutely any part of it.

I'm almost 1 year into my build and see light at the end of the tunnel. Hope to be on the road before spring.
